Create an unusual baby hat for a baby gift, with this pattern. I’ve added colour-work and pixie pointed top for a style that sits apart from the average beanie. To create the tassel with contrast yarn, the same as the Fairisle stitching gives a continuity.

This is ideal if you’re learning stranded colourwork, as the stranding needs only be done over 5 rows and the pattern is repeated and symmetrical, so you’re less likely to be confused or make a mistake.
